Fashion Friday :: Cameron Levin's Chelsea Collection

I had the absolute BEST time photographing for Seattle designer Cameron Levin! Her clothing is gorgeous (I fell in love with her dresses while shopping at Spun Sustainable Collective a couple months ago) and I was stoked when she asked me to photograph her Chelsea collection! She brought along the beautiful Brittney Brandt to model and the incredibly talented Scotty Provo to work hair and makeup magic. The shoot ran smoothly, was tons of fun, and most importantly we were able to create images that perfectly showcased the Chelsea collection.

Fashion Network Seattle recently profiled Cameron and you can read what she had to say about her collection, designing and fashion by clicking HERE.



Fashion Friday - Thaw 2010 :: Seattle Fashion Photographer

I had a fabulous time at Thaw last week (click HERE to read about the 2009 show). This was my 3rd time volunteering for the fabulous event which raises money for HDSA (Huntington's Disease Society of America).

In the past I've done everything from helping set up the bars, to checking coats, to collecting tickets at the door & helping out at the Thaw Shop. This year they had me photograph guests in front of the media wall as well take photos of the fashion show. Here are some of my favorites from the evening...

  

     

If you were a Thaw guest and had your photo taken in front of the media wall (or you'd just like to see more images from the night), go to Art of Subtlety, click on the "client proofs" button and type in the password "thaw2010" (without the " " marks). Any profits from the photos you order will be donated to HDSA.

Happy Friday everyone! :)

Spun Giveaway Winner

Thank you to everyone who commented on what has made you happy this month---it was fun reading everyone's comments! I've decided the best way to choose a winner is by a random number generator.

Without further ado, the winner of the scoop neck tee from Spun is...

Fashion Friday - Thaw 2009

I'm a little late (OK, a lot late) posting about Thaw, Seattle's fashion fundraiser benefiting HDSA (Huntington's Disease Society of America). For the past 2 years, I've volunteered at this super-fun event and writing this post makes me wish they held 2 each year so I wouldn't have to wait until next year to help again!

This year I arrived early to help the bars get set up. I cut lemons and limes, doled out bottles of vodka to each bartender, and stocked each station with enough ice to make polar bears feel at home. Once the guests started arriving, I went to help out at the Thaw Shop for the rest of the evening. The Thaw Shop was really amazing--independent designers from Seattle and Portland donated pieces (handbags, earrings, rings, ascots, etc) to sell and all (yep, 100%!) of the proceeds from those sales went directly to the HDSA. Tons of people came through to browse and buy, and by the end of the night we had sold nearly everything!

One of my favorite things at Thaw was the USnaps photo booth. Check out the fun pics my volunteer friends and I took (I'm the one in the middle, with a Lavender DRY Soda in hand):

After totally forgetting my camera last year, I made sure to bring it along this year so I could snap a few pics during the Thaw Spring Fashion Show. Here are a few favorites (you can click on each one to view it slightly larger):

I definitely encourage you all to attend Thaw 2010. You'll have lots of fun and you'll feel good knowing that you're helping raise money and awareness for Huntington's Disease.

Fashion Friday: Spun

Recently I was asked what I photograph on my own time; something I do that keeps me busy when I'm not taking pictures for clients; something that inspires me to push myself and be a better photographer. My answer was fashion. I love looking through fashion magazines, fashion photos online, fashion catalogs (the June Anthropologie catalog is to die for!). I love typing the word "fashion" into Flickr and finding pictures that speak to me (like this one and this one). So...

I've decided that Fridays will be "Fashion Friday" on my blog. This one will be short and sweet being that I have to catch a plane pretty soon (the blog post tomorrow will fill you in). This is me and the super cute Diane Wrap Dress I got from Sara Seumae's clothing line, Spun.


I know I've blogged about how awesome she is before, but I'm going to do it again! :) I love her clothing so much and I always get compliments whenever I'm wearing any of her pieces. If you haven't checked her out, do it! Not only is her clothing awesome, she's pretty darn awesome herself.
